They use lightweight, breathable, all natural fabrics and certify them at the IUVTL (International UV Testing Laboratory) in accordance with AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) standards to create stylish, wearable designs. Mott 50 garments provide a major departure from the average white t-shirt, which offers as little as 5 UPF. Co-owners Monique Moore and Anne Botica put extensive research into the fabric and came up with a much softer and more comfortable cloth that is entirely natural and not chemically treated whatsoever. The UPF 50 maintains for the lifetime of the garment.

With an 800% rise in skin cancer diagnosis among women ages 18-29 in the past 40 years, research and awareness efforts are in constant need of support. It is important to inform women of the risks associated with the sun and remind them of the most impactful methods of protection. Dermatologists rank sun protective clothing as the #1 way to successfully block the sun’s harmful rays, proving to be even more effective than sunscreen.
